Performance study of a pressure transducer with meandering-path thin film strain gauges

Electrical Properties of Thermally Sprayed Ni- and Ni20Cr-Based Resistors

“…To our knowledge, the finding of point (b) was never reported before for thermal-sprayed electrical conductors, but only for thin films (Ref [25][26][27] and bulk materials ( Ref 28). The effect has been interpreted as being connected to various physical phenomena.…”

Characterization of sputtered nichrome (Ni–Cr 80/20 wt.%) films for strain gauge applications

“…Angadi and Whiting [1] also reported an increase in the gauge factor of nichrome film because of annealing. Kayser et al [2] and Nayak et al [13] reported observing a decrease in the film resistance after annealing. The reason is attributed to the annealing of the defects in the film [13].…”

“…Kayser et al [2] and Nayak et al [13] reported observing a decrease in the film resistance after annealing. The reason is attributed to the annealing of the defects in the film [13]. In the annealing process, the point defects are restructured [10].…”

Pressure transducer with Au-Ni thin-film strain gauges

“…The strain-gauge pattern adopted (for the four gauges, as shown in Fig. 1) and their location on the diaphragm are the same as those already reported in our earlier paper [23].…”

“…The output characteristics of the transducer were studied using a dead weight pressure calibrator (Model 5020 of Desgranges et Huot, France). The details of the procedure followed are given elsewhere [23].…”
